ECOM® (Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitoring) is focused on bringing innovative approaches and technologies to the patient monitoring environment.
ECOM®, (Endotracheal Cardiac Output Monitoring) is for use on intubated patients, and allows the clinician to manage the patient using information derived from a core monitoring location in close proximity to the ascending aorta. ECOM® is straightforward to operate and gives real-time information for patient hemodynamic optimization. The system is automatic and self-adjusting for positional changes allowing the clinician to focus on the patient instead of the device. ECOM® provides the cardiac output, stroke volume variation and systemic vascular resistance to be used as part of Goal Directed Therapy protocols.
The ECOM® System consists of a stand-alone electronic monitor, disposable ECOM® Endotracheal Tubes and accessories. The ECOM® Monitor is ideally placed on the multi-parameter patient monitor station or on a portable cart available as an accessory.
The ECOM® Monitor is connected to the ECOM® ET Tube using the
ECOM® TCG Tube Cable. There is also a connection between the ECOM® monitor and the operating room multi-parameter monitor using the ECOM® BPC Blood Pressure Cable.
The ECOM® ET Tube is available in sizes 7.0mm, 7.5mm, 8.0mm and 8.5mm. After the tube is inserted into the normal position in the patient’s trachea, and inflated to the appropriate pressure, the tube is connected to the distal end of the ECOM® ET cable via the one way blue connector
